Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

I sleep on my side. I've used packable pillows and rolled up clothes to support my head in the past, but I always woke up with a sore neck. The Exped air pillow is the first packable pillow I've used that provides the comfort of a full size pillow. It is also small when packed, lightweight and durable.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

I consider myself a minimalist in terms of gear but at my age (51) when it comes to sleeping, comfort is a big priority. Pads, pillows and bags matter greatly. The idea for this pillow is good, but it needs more loft. For what you get the price is crazy expensive.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

I always used a make-shift pillow on the over-nites. Not any more; now the exped pillow is one of the 1st things in the backpack.Lite weight, comfortable and very packable.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

This pillow is great for camping. It blows up within several breaths and when it's deflated it's easy to pack and super lightweight.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

Super lightweight with the easiest inflate/deflate ever to make repacking in the pouch a breeze.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

We always backpack with a plan to bundle up our clothes and use as a pillow... and every morning we wake up a little sleep deprived and with a sore neck and/or back. This has been the norm for many years. I hesitated to buy this air pillow b/c of the cost, which is pretty high for an air bag. I have to say, my wife and I are really happy with these. I proablby slept 1-2 hours more (less tossing and turning and "readjusting" my former clothing pillow) even though we went to bed and woke at the same time! No neck discomfort or back ache. Very comfortable. As with my air mattresses, we learned that we like them a little soft - being able to adjust how firm they are is great too. The heaviest part was the glue and patches that it comes with -- I'd take at least these out on our next backpack trip to save an ounce or two of weight. I worry that then insides will get moldy, b/c you blow these up and drying them out will be challenging. I store these, as recommended, with the valves open, but still worry a little.

I purchased one for myself. My son (boy scout) liked it also, so I got him one. Lightweight and very, very adjustable. This is the lightest pillow I could find and I am glad I did.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

I have used cheap plastic inflatable pillows and have hated them, this one is really nice and the fabric covering has a nice feel. It included a nice, small patch kit in case its punctured, which could double to patch sleeping pads. I did a backpack trip on a mountain rainforest and really appreciated the pillow. I would recommend a cover, even if its just a t-shirt, to keep in clean from skin oils and such, and to keep it from sliding around, and to allow extra breathability. I was hesetant because of the price, but in extreme backpack situations in remote areas, a good nights sleep offsets the cost, and I expect this to last for a long time, I was impressed with the quality of the fabric and the air valves. It collapses and folds very quickly and is very small and lightweight.

I purchased the pillow for support under my knees when sleeping to replace an older, heavier, rectangular, inflatable pillow. The new pillow is great for head and neck support but did not work out for intended knee support use.
